DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Former Nascar Legend Benny Parsons, 65, died this morning after a six month bout with cancer. While it's not typically surprising for a man in his mid-60's to die in Florida, it certainly does come as news that someone affiliated with Nascar would have the audacity to die away from the racetrack. Our thoughts and prayers should be with Parson's extended family, but instead are directed towards fans of car racing. If you've met these enthusiasts or been invited into their trailers; or even met their barbers, it's pretty clear they can use all the help they can get.
